Round 1

THR the culture of sharing the details (thoughts, activities etc) of everyday life on social media

Round 2

This house believes that the state should compensate individuals who are found 'not guilty' at trial.

Round 3

This house regrets popular culture that portrays the primary cause of the subprime mortgage crisis as the greed of bankers, rather than as a failure of a complex system.

Round 4

After losing the 2016 election, Hillary Clinton has spent her time and influence publishing a book, attending party conventions, meeting donors and voters where she highlights why she thinks she lost the election. Sexism politics and media, skewed media coverage, over emphasis on the email scandal, Russian intervention etc. are some of the reasons why she claims she lost. THBT Hillary Clinton should abandon attempts to rationalize her election loss.

Round 5

THBT copyright and intellectual property laws should be significantly relaxed for Least Economically Developed Countries (LEDCs).

Round 6

A financial endowment is the pool of donations to universities which they use for the purpose of running the university, erecting buildings, providing scholarships, giving prize moneys and grants, etc. For example, Harvard Endowment is currently 36.2 billion USD. THW aggressively redistribute US college endowment funds among universities

Motions:

r1: This house prefers leaderless movements.
r2: This house would allow plaintiffs to sell their right to sue to third parties.
r3: In January 2018, it was reported that all students at Oxford University were given 15 minutes more than usual to take Mathematics and Computer Science exams. The reason for this move was that Oxford academic leaders concluded that female candidates are more likely to be adversely affected by time pressure compared to their male counterparts. After the change was introduced, Oxford reported that the scores of women did indeed improve under the more "academically demanding and fair" changes. This house regrets Oxford University's decision to provide more time in their exams.
r4: "Instantaneous Naturalizing" is a process of granting a foreigner citizenship of a country that bypasses the usual process of naturalization (generally varies according to countries. For example, Malaysia requires the foreigner to have resided in the country for at least 10 years in a period of 12 years). Instantaneous Naturalizing is done much faster and often for a specific purpose. This house would disallow the practice of Instantaneously Naturalizing foreign athletes to serve on national sports teams.
Semifinal: A bail-in is rescuing a financial institution on the brink of failure by making its creditors and depositors take a loss on their holdings. A bail-in is the opposite of a bail-out which involves the rescue of a financial institution by external parties, typically governments using taxpayers money. This house prefers bail-in over bail-out.
Final: You are a doctor in a neonatal emergency unit of a hospital. One night, two critical cases come to you - a wealthy couple's newborn baby and an extremely poor couple's newborn baby are both diagnosed with Disease X. Despite hours of frantic efforts from your part to keep them alive, tragedy strikes by the time it is dawn and the wealthy couple's baby dies. Assuming the switch will never be discovered, this house will tell the poor couple their baby died and hand the surviving baby over to the wealthy couple.

Round 4: This house would require all debaters to pass a course in geography before debating foreign policy motions
Round 5: PESCO is a Treaty-based framework and process to deepen defence cooperation amongst EU Member States who are capable and willing to do so. The aim is to jointly develop defence capabilities and make them available for EU military operations. This house, as the European Union, would create a joint military force
Round 6: Sports bounties are fees paid to players for injuring an opponent on the field. These bounties are prohibited by sports leagues. They are typically punished with fines and suspensions. This house would criminally prosecute payers and recipients of sports bounties
Semifinal: This house would regulate Google as if it were a public utility
Final: United States Pacific Command has detected an intercontinental ballistic missile launch. The missile is headed for downtown Honolulu. An attempted intercept has failed. The warhead is expected to detonate in 15 minutes. You are a civilian emergency response official for the State of Hawaii. This house would not inform the public

United States University Western Regional Championships 2018 Motions

RD1: This house prefers a world in which social media costs money to use, but users do not give up the rights to their data, to the current world
RD2: Info Slide: Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) is capable of producing images, music, and poetry that is nearly indistinguishable from work produced by humans. In one study, a majority of participants thought that images produced by A.I. were more novel, complex, and inspiring. This house welcomes the production of art by artificial intelligence
RD3: This house would place a tax on meat
RD4: This house believes that the West should engage in covert efforts to overthrow Vladimir Putin
RD5: Info Slide: The U.S. Constitution establishes that a sitting Vice President can only be removed from office by Congressional impeachment. A Vice President can also choose to resign. Cabinet appointees (e.g. Secretary of State, Attorney General, etc.) can be impeached or can resign, but they can also be fired by the President. This house believes that Cabinet appointees should be protected from firing once they are approved by Congress
RD6: This house believes that comedians should not be held to modern standards of political correctness
RD7: This house would classify catcalling as a felony
RD8: This house believes that Black Lives Matter should push for black separatism rather than inclusion
Quarter Finals: This house regrets the rise of Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman
Semifinals & Novice Final: This house would abolish the Second Amendment
Grand Final: Assuming we had the technology to be able to perfectly simulate physical and psychological pain (without killing someone), this house would allow convicted criminals to choose to feel the pain of their victims rather than serve their prison sentence

Round 1: THBT as a middle class African-American parent, given the choice between an under-performing but predominantly African American school and a high performing but predominantly white school, we should choose to send our children to the predominantly African-American school.

Round 2: You are a talented actress from a very difficult, toxic and misogynistic background in rural India. You fought significant hurdles, especially in the form of misogyny, on your way to Bollywood. After becoming moderately famous, your first role in a megahit presents itself:
You are to take the role of Kajal, a poor young girl harrassed by a charming young man. Eventually you are won over as you begin to see his wit, humor and good looks and ignore that he was borderline stalking you. The misogyny in the film is evident.

THW reject the role

Round 3: THW exaggerate & falsify climate change data

Round 4: THBT the US should abandon all foreign aid to African countries and instead match China's infrastructural investments there.

Semi-Finals; THW fear the development of independent artificial intelligence

MOTIONS:

r1	Professional wrestling is a form of live entertainment that depicts simulated theatrical combat, popular companies include the WWE & TNA – the content reaches millions of viewers worldwide. The vast majority of wrestling matches currently feature men facing men, and women facing women. THBT there should be no separation of genders in professional wrestling.

r2	TH would allow elected student unions to determine the syllabus in tertiary education instead of teachers

r3	THBT the EU should punish Britain with harsh terms during negotiations for BREXIT.

r4	You are a very respected debater from a very underepresented institution. You are judging at a major international BP tournament and in a bubble round that you chair, there is a really close decision for 1st and 2nd. And the only 1st ranking team will break. One of the two teams in the close split is a prestigious institution and the other is from a very underrepresented small one with no break history. Your reasoning leads you to believe that the team from the prestigious institution won. Your single panelist also believes it was a close win to the prestigious institution. THW actively push for the judgment call to the underrepresented institution and inflate their speaker scores.

r5	THBT class is more important than race
